This year our MGSD Opening Convocation looked a bit different from past years. Normally, we have a full auditorium with all of our staff from across the district celebrating the new school year. This year, we had a small in-person crowd, while staff watched a live-stream of our announcements of our district award recipients and a challenge put forth by our Superintendent, Dr. Mauney. We are proud of all of our fantastic faculty and staff; however, special congratulations go out to our MGSD Assistant Principal of the Year Samone Graham (MHS), MGSD Administrator of the Year Jemma Conley (Elementary Curriculum & Instruction Coordinator), MGSD Beginning Teacher of the Year Felicia Tapper (EMIS), and MGSD Teacher of the Year Yevette Peveler (NF Woods/MIWAYE)! A special THANK YOU to Mooresville Ford for being such an amazing community partner and providing our TOY with a new Ford Escape! Dr. Mauney reminded us of our WHY... our students and community. He finished the celebration with wise words and our challenge for the year -- to build relationships and connect with our students, as well as each other. While this may be a bit more difficult at the start of this year, he stressed that it is more important than ever as we begin the year under such different circumstances. We cannot wait to meet that challenge as we start this 2020 - 2021 school year! #Convocation2020 #RememberYourWHY #APOY #AOY #BTOY #TOY #Connect #EveryChildEveryDay
